Baby it's cold outside-Rumbelle

Belle's POV

In the last few months Rumpelstitskin and I had grown close. We got to know each other and became friends soon after he stopped being rude. He gave me a new dress that was better for cleaning, and a room with a bed to sleep on. We spoke as I cleaned in whatever room I was cleaning if he happened to be in that room as well. He wasn't what other people feared. His heart may be darkened and hidden behind nearly impenitrable walls, but it was there, and I knew it.

Winter had began, and whenever I had a spare moment, I stood by a window and watch snow fall onto the forest. He caught me looking a few times and asked, "What are you doing?"

I looked at him and smiled, "Looking at the snow. It's a beautiful veiw." He looked a bit taken aback, he joined me at the window for a moment, looking out into the gourgous scene before he muttered in almost suprise, "Yes, it is." From then on things were different, warm clothes aappeared in my room for the short amount of time I had to spend outside, he made sure that the windows with the best veiws curtains weren't nailed down, and he limted the chores I did. He did this subtly, lessening the load, making ecsuse's, the nails disappeared from the curtains without a word, the clothes he gave me were never mentioned.

I slowly began to see the man behind the monster, a man who had lost much and who built walls to protect himself from hurt. The man was scared, and scarred, but still there. He never wanted to hurt children, I'd seen, and he tried his best to leave them out of most of his deals. It was a new side to him, one that I'm sure nobody living had ever seen, and it fasinated me.
